I used to collect Basketball and Comic (Marvel/DC) cards back in the day. I'm prety sure I still have a ton of them in my parents basement.

When did this thread turn into "Why I'm a nerd"?

That's what they all say ... then they finally decide one day to see what they've got and -whoops- ma threw them all out ... even the rookie cards.

My dad got me one of these from Australia and I spent hours learning to toss it.
Never did get the hang of it but was sure fun trying.

I have a couple bins full of this stuff as well. I have an almost complete set of figurines from some
Hollywood Video type store that used to be in every mall but I think went out of business. Can't
remember the store name.... whatever. Anyway the figurines are about 10 to 12 inches tall and I
think I have Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, Darth, 3PO, R2 and the only one I am missing is Obi Wan. Can't
find it online anywhere. I think i will be cleaning out the basement here in the next few weeks so if I
decide to unload any of this stuff should I let you guys know? I am not sure I want the hassle of
trying to sell it on eBay and if I charged anything at all it would be beer or something, possibly nothing
at all. I will likely keep the original movie posters from Episodes I - III though. I can use those.

Used to set these up strategically throughout the house. Moms would get pissed when she stepped on one so had to change my stratagy.

I actually also still have all of my SW stuff from when I was a yute, stored in boxes at my parents' house (not on display, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with doin' that, Jeffro ) have all kinds of figures, a Falcon, AT-AT, lots of other good stuff

I loved these guys!

Except for minesweeper guy. He always got killed...

i have a bunch of figures still in the boxes from the new trilogy, too. i have darth maul from episode 1, and a few from eps 2 and 3. doubt any of them are rare. they're probably not worth anything. but i enjoyed collecting them. it was kind of fun. made me feel like a kid again.

Krazy Ivan,
I miss Woolworths! Last one I remember was in Golf Mill in Niles.
